Bill Lawson has been named the April 2025 Employee of the Month. Bill has been the boys and girls tennis coach for 20+ years.
Bill said, “Just as I care about each and every kid on our tennis teams, I believe the entire staff of Corunna Schools cares about each student. And I’ve always felt and considered myself to be trusted by our athletic directors over the years. Put more simply, Corunna cares.”
“One thing that would surprise you to learn about me is that I went to Washington D.C. in 1971 to protest against the Vietnam War. Later when we were withdrawing our troops, I joined the Navy to help with the withdrawal. I love the USA and the freedoms we have here,” said Bill.
“Memories I will always carry with me are the kids, watching and helping them grow and gain confidence in tennis and in themselves,” said Bill.
Bill said, “What sets Corunna apart from other districts is that Corunna Schools really care.”
“My mother most positively influenced me in my life. She was a quiet, strong, intelligent, a thinker, thoughtful, and wonderful human being. I was lucky,” said Bill.
Bill’s family includes his wife, Kelli, three daughters and son-in-laws and four grandchildren.
In his spare time, he enjoys tennis, walking, and a few 5K’s
